Make pizza without dough
I don’t really know why I’m hogging all my fashion posts, just don’t feel like posting them right now. Last week I was running back and forth between my desk and my kitchen. I was debating whether or not to just call for pizza- ugh- pizza…again? I’d sit in front of my computer for 5 minutes looking up “vintage luichiny platforms” on google (if they’re not luichiny from the 90′s they’re no good), and then I’d scurry back into the kitchen to see if I could wing a meal with the ingredients I had on hand. I’d be going back and forth about 10 times before I could even make a decision. This drives me nuts. Too lazy to cook, too tired of delivery..
Just as I was reluctantly about to call for pizza (dominos thin crust …shriek……too..much..salt), I saw all these potatoes lying around and suddenly I had an idea to make a potato pizza…I love pizza but I was also getting tired of it. I needed a simple twist. This is a great solution if you want something quick and tasty but also elegant enough to serve at a dinner party.
Here is a shot of all the toppings I’m going to use for each of the pizzas.
For the crust, I placed a potato through a cutter, the result is a fine angel-hair like texture. This is the potato slicer I’m using. (click)
Place the potatoes on a hot pan with oil:
Top with cheese, sauce, and pepperoni.
The potato crust should be very crispy and golden brown:
Following the same exact concept/process displayed above, I also set up 3 other toppings for smaller pizzas: mushroom ham and swiss, shrimp scampi, and bleu cheese pear and arugula. The idea and cooking method is simple and you can devise your own topping combinations.
Pear, bleu cheese, and arugula pizza:
Drinking lemonade with mint simple syrup and chopped mint.
Ham, swiss, and mushroom:
Check below for the potato slicer.
So nice.
I think we all don’t understand how you stay so slim.
But so nice, reminds me a bit of latkes.
My family and I are all Celiac’s and tired of paying for expensive pizza crusts. This looks like a fab way of getting our pizza fix on a budget.
combining pizza and potatoes–you’re my hero.
Genius
Oooh, this looks good! I’m definitely going to try making it
Haha! I just posted this to my mother asking her if we can make it.
yes because life is so simple like this, sighhh
What a creativitie!!
Genius, and I will definitively try this as I’m not too fond of the pizzadough
Have a great week!
wow your food is always so creative
Delicious! Love the idea. I’m def going to cook it this week.
This is ingenious!!!!

its like a hashbrown pizza!
1. this title certainly got my attention!
2. i can’t believe this worked!
3. i can’t believe you thought this qualified as a challenging amount of ingredients!
What a stroke of genius! As I was reading, I thought you’d thinly slice the potato with a mandolin, but shredded to ‘angel hair’ thinness?
A M A Z I N G ! ! !
Must try this ASAP.

Damn! Must buy the contraption first…
Really great photos, nicely litten and focused!
…of course I love the idea of a potato based pizza too
You are always great dear, best wishes!
xoxoxo
Oh, WOW! This looks incredible–what a great idea! I love how your display everything in your posts too… I always imagine your kitchen to look more like a laboratory than a kitchen!
The potatoes kinda look like noodles, amazing idea for a pizza base anyhow. Can’t wait to try this out! And as usual, amazing pictures. If you ever make a recipe book it will be the best food porn collection ever I feel…
You are a genius.

great idea, they look fantastic!
I love the idea of using potatoes as my fiance and I don’t eat flour and haven’t had pizza in quite some time:( I might try this idea using mashed potatoes, spread thin, and fried. Thank you for yet another beautiful post.
Wonderful-they are like potato latkes with new flavors. I would also suggest a mushroom version, as that would go wonderfully with potatos. Did you rinse your potato shreds before cooking? It takes care of the starch and makes them much pleasant.
Also, for your lemonade, the mint shouldn’t be chopped-actually, it creates a better flavor if it is gently muddled with the simple syrup (gently) to release the oil. For cilantro that’s another story, and you can make a cilantro lemonade/limeade if you’re into that sort of thing. The mint is a common mistake-I used to chop it up also before I got a lesson!
Happy cookin

sooo delisshhh looking. i fancy the finely grated potatoes – what a delicious twist to pizza crust! I just want to eat this! with the drink, of course.
WONDERFUL!
and so gluten free
So delicious looking! I would so wanna try this, but, hrm, maybe with yellow squash instead of potato – i heard they also make a good substitute!
definitely one of your most ingenious creations, and derived from such a popular dish too!
is the hot pan enough to cook the potatoes or do you pre-cook them before running them through the cutting device? Also, do you pre-cook the toppings beforehand?…the pepperoni looks very crispy, like it’s been in the oven.

@ roxana, No precooking involved, I placed the potatoes onto the pan right after I sliced them. I did not cook this in the oven either, the steam rising from the pan will cook the toppings. I cooked the pepperoni in the oven before hand to get them a little crisp and topped it at the end. If you want to place it in the oven to cook it longer, you can, or just to get it warm.
The potatoes will cook on the pan without having to add them into the oven, just make sure they are kind of translucent and soft. It should take no longer than 5-15 minutes.
AAAAA DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to try this.
Holy crap! This looks fantastic!
What a great idea! I would try this but I’m sure I would end up burning the potato somehow. Haha.
Wow, what a great twist! Where did you get that glass bottle that holds the lemonade. An Italian company made something similar to that but they’re not available anymore!
those look delicious.
this reminds me of all the potato pizzas in korea
How do you manage to stay so svelte?
If you don’t find it too intrusive, an interiors post on your home would be amazing (as I’m imagining it’s rather stylish). Especially your kitchen!
it’s 10 o’clock in the morning here in Zurich and I’m soooo hungry now! argh!
Ok. Quite a good idea… but here in central Europe we call this a “Rösti” (Switzerland) or “Kartoffelpuffer” (Germany)… But we dont put things on it, normaly… But there are some Variations with Cheese and Vegetables on and in it…
Visit the european Cuisine more often for some delicios and easy-to-make-and-bake food 
Potatoes instead of a dough!?
Who would have thought?
You of course, genius.
This will be perfect for me to make since I’m gluten sensitive.
Thank you <3.
get yourself over to etsy for the luichiny shoes, girl. there are like 4 pairs on there right now.
Looks marvelous! Brilliant idea!
Possible with grated potato perhaps?
Yum! I love potato so much more than flour based carb (pasta, pizza dough etc)
I’ve just changed my life to be more healthy and as a result sometimes it’s boring. I need to eat complex carbs and the potato is such a fantastic use….now I can eat pizza often and not feel guilty.
Thanks love how much effort you put in on every post you make.

What sauce did you use to bind the Potatoe together?? Like a roux maybe??
Im intrigued!
ahaha as an italian i found this ‘pizza’ something blasfem
but i’m also curious about it!
Reminds me of Okonomiyaki, but with potato not cabbage
Great idea!
This looks absolutely fabulously delicious. You just made me so hungry.
I love how you turn simple food into an art form. I can attest to how good this recipe is, thanks for sharing it with us.
Absolutely breathtaking photography-always. Absolutely inspirational recipes. Wow!

i am trying to start a gluten-free diet and all the gluten-free crusts i’ve tasted are HORRIBLE. i threw out almost an entire pizza a couple nights ago b/c it was just too awful to eat. this potato crust idea at least gives me a nice alternative.
thanks!
this is such a good idea, especially considering my all time favorite pizza is ptesto pizza (pesto and potato). I am definitely going to try a pesto/cheese/sun dried tomato version. Thanks for the inspiration as always!
Seriously, how do you come up with all these AMAZING ideas!??!?! I am in awe.
I used to be gluten free, the doctors diagnosed me with celiac desease. I never thought of this and for a year I wanted a pizza so bad! I’m not anymore, but I will still try this. Looks delicious.
Its fastidious humorous YouTube video, I all the time go to visit YouTube site in support of funny videos, as there is much more information available.
